  1. freelancer REVIEW:

    All I have to say is IT WORKS! If you need powdered sugar and have none on hand then this is your recipe. Thank you for this! You saved the day (and my dessert)

    I was making puppy chow & after I had the chocolate mixture made, realized I didn't have any powdered sugar! Uggh! Frustrating since I usually have it on hand! However, I was a bit skeptical of this recipe, seeing the corn starch in it - but it turned out beautifully. I did add a bit more sugar because it just didn't seem very sweet, but just a Tablespoon or so...nothing major. All in all, quick, easy, tastes pretty darn good :)
